Tourism is India’s third largest export industry after gems and jewellery and readymade garments. However, even though India has got world’s highest potential, its share is only 0.4% of the total world tourist traffic. The major stumbling blocks are poor infrastructure facilities for the tourists and shortage of hotel rooms.

The religious diversity of the country as also the festivals are also a major attraction. Some famous fairs are: Pushkar fair in Rajasthan; Sonepur fair in Bihar; Bhavnath fair in Gujarat; and the Ladakh festival in Leh.
